The episode was a pleasant surprise!! I really didn't expect them to have the follow up episode more captivating than the first one.. But it is indeed one step better than the inaugural episode. I felt more involved with the show today and could relate to the characters much more.. Guess, the individual scenes between the family members helped the cause.
Let me first get away with the one negative aspect of the episode.. The scene at Anu's father's place. The whole scene was over dramatic, but I still liked Gurdeep's performance as the daughter who wish to make amends, Ram's inability to help her and her father's anger & hurt (though he claims she broke his heart, I think it is his ego which is hurt). But the brother-in-law character was OTT, he was just too annoying. Hope the actor improves in the coming episodes..
For the BALH fans, it would have been funny to see Ram calling someone else as 'Mr. Kapoor' ;). Perhaps the makers could have avoided using Kapoor surname, personally I don't think of BALH while watching this show, hence no issues for me..
The best scene of the day was Ram - Disha scene, they were absolutely cute, excellent chemistry between the father - daughter duo, Mahima as Disha is very impressive. Disha had some very valid questions, and Ram was the perfect father who got down to her level to make her understand instead of preaching or shouting as many parents do (both in reel and real life). Hope, the daughter is shown to be an early teen (thirteen / fourteen), she fits that age group better.
It is very realistic for Disha to be curious about the report and want to find out. Her reaction to her mother visiting the grandfather and getting insulted was relatable too. In addition, we also got a bonus of seeing the younger Ram's pictures ;).
Ram & Anu continue to rock as the made for each other couple. The wishes scene would have again reminded of BALH, but I think it makes sense considering the dire state of Anu's health. And I think Anu's wishes are going to be more serious and long standing compared to that of Priya's in BALH.
Ram (the actor) is perfect for playing the adorable hubby... You feel sorry for him when he got insulted at his saasural, but also can relate with him when he says he doesn't mind doing anything for the happiness of his Anu.. His grumpiness in the first scene was cute, and he was to the point when he asked whether she is going to ask 'sorry' for marrying him.. The makers are careful to address the queries which would raise in the audience's mind.
Ram & Anu's banter was extremely lively and natural. And Ram, though is ready to fulfil her wishes, is not ready to listen to her demand of letting her go without treatment, extremely relatable, he ignoring her shouts and taking her to hospital tied to the cab was nicely done.
Overall a feel good episode, I think the makers are trying to make it as light-hearted as possible in-spite of being a heavy subject..
Some more family fun moments and reminiscing about Ram-Anu's courtship days in Rajasthan for tomorrow. Eagerly waiting...
